When in Rome do as the Romans do but when in Agra India, see the Taj Mahal. This magical and mystical place continues to Astound visitors every day with it breathtaking appearance.
As a first time visitor to this great monument and holy temple, I found myself awed by the sheer greatness of its construction and design. The four corner towers are like timeless guards and beacons of the magnificent structure. I found myself looking and wondering how on earth these types of structures were made in such primitive times when in today's modern age, with all of our technology, we seem to continuously build structures that are in need of immense repair in just 50 years. The very idea that people hundreds of years ago were able to start and complete a project like this and make it stand a better test of time then today's modern engineering is outrageous!
Time has worn on the Taj Mahal site and the once glistening white stone is now starting to appear yellow. This in no way affects the essence of its magnitude, but more over, it shows how the elements of construction used in its creation were far superior to the elements used in the West on some its greatest monuments today. If you pay a visit to Washington D.C. in the United States, you will most likely encounter scaffolding around at least one of the national monuments as they laboriously clean it to an acceptable level of appearance. All of this summed up pays an incredible compliment to those who crafted the great palace.
